When stuck in a winter wonderland, we’re dependent on layers to keep us warm and cozy. Previous Fashionistas on campus were constantly owning the streets with their fabulous finds and outfit choices. Some threw on their versatile military jacket and vintage sweaters, while some reached for their jean jacket and scarves. For the Fashionistos, it’s just as simple to be fashion-forward while staying warm. You can’t go wrong with the classic button-down and sweater combination like this Fashionisto had.

CollegeFashionista: What’s your go-to outfits for class?

Ryan Prusko: My go-to outfits are Nike’s Dri-Fit shirts and sweatpants. When you’re always busy, you never know when you’re going to have to workout after class!

CF: Which would you choose, comfortable or fashionable?

RP: Comfortable, why would you wear clothes that aren’t comfortable in the first place? You shouldn’t make yourself miserable, but there’s always a comfortable way to make your look more fashionable.

CF: What’s one piece of clothing you need the most for this brutal winter weather?

RP: A ski mask and some gloves — basically anything Ed Hardy. Just kidding, I would have to say my sturdy pair of Vibram boots. They’re a good pair that’ll keep your feet warm.

How To: This Fashionisto wore a heavy duty, black Cole Haan winter coat with fur lining. He casually layered a gray, V-neck sweater over a light-colored, plaid button-down from Banana Republic. Most importantly, to keep warm he threw on a simple black hat and his sturdy, brown snow boots. Gentleman, this is your classic winter look that works for any kind of occasion during the cold weather.
